My first time was awkward.

My first time I can describe as awkward, it still felt like Christmas morning though. I honestly don't know what you have in mind, but I was talking about my first time attending a boat show. I went to the event with virgin friends so like me, they were anxious to know the naked truth about what goes in the show. We have VIP passes so we can choose to attend all dates listed. The Dubai International Boat show is an annual event organized by the Dubai World Trade Center for dealers or the public of products by various manufacturers in the marine industry. On its 19th year, the exposition was held on March 1-5, 2011 at the Dubai International Marine Club next to the Le Meridien Mina Seyahi hotel.

Described as the largest and most important showcase in the Middle East, a lot of suppliers came to exhibit their products and services enticing more consumers to participate in the said event. First timers like me usually have lofty expectations, and I can just conclude that the show left me in awe. Well, I'm just satisfied to have a taste of middle eastern luxury just by hopping into and exploring boats in display. I can't help but I ask myself, can people really afford all these? Some clearly can, and without a doubt I'm not one of the lucky few. Taking a peek at extravagance and smiling my best at the photos we took was enough for me to say, ang pagkain pa rin ng isaw sa kanto can best define happiness for me, I was just there for the show.
